dependency issue: in puppy vs BionicDog
Posted: Tue 14 Aug 2018, 06:10
This is a question by me as a learner (and not regarding 'HowTo') reg a dependency issue: in puppylinux vs BionicDog.
I read that "DebianDog is shaped to look and act like Puppy Linux. Debian structure and Debian behaviour are untouched". But it is NOT puppylinux.
Just out of curiosity, I downloaded BionicDog 64bit and ran from USB stick.
Then for testing, I tried installing 'iridium browser.deb' via dpkg (since the BionicDog supports dpkg).
It didn't go through and dependency errors were shown.
Similar error for gcc-4.8-basegcc-4.8-base.
As compared to this, in puppylinux, on clicking the .deb file (or .PET file), the installation was perfect. (All the credit goes to puppy community).
This means that the dependencies were taken care of either in the puppy system or in the .deb file.
But not in the case of BionicDog.
I didn't understand this.
p.s. (also tried to install chromium in BionicDog to see if iridium has something out-of-the-world, but got the same traceback with chromium's .deb file.)

Code: Select all
iridium-browser depends on libatomic1 (>= 4.8); however:
Package libatomic1 is not installed.
